Most of you already know my story. I am 1 week and 1 day late. Took a billion tests and they're negative. I am TTC and had sex the 2nd most fertile day (according to web md ovulation calendar). I feel like a lot of people are in this boat that i am in. Wondering what the heck is wrong? So many questions of why? I feel symptoms, but just like anything else i don't know if that is exactly what it is. I'd assume so. I've never been pregnant so therefore, i don't know what to expect! I know all i can do is wait, but some words of encouragement would be wonderful. If you're in the same boat as me, what are you doing to control your emotions? I am not worrying myself to death at all, but at night time is when i think a lot and i can't help but wonder where AF is or why is the test still negative? So many people tell me since it's still reading negative that i can not be pregnant. So much for encouragement, right? Anyways, i'm not asking to feed me a line a bull to make me feel better, i just want to know what you think and if you had any advice. Thank you so much :)

i took pregnancy test back in July and got all BFNs. I went to the doc and confirmed positive by blood test on July 21, 23 and 30. I took 2 more test (for fun) in August and still got BFN. My son was born on St. Patrick's Day. So to say its not possible is wrong but to be honest its usually not likely. The doc couldn't explain to my why I was getting BFNs other than my beta levels were low at the start.

Thanks. I'm trying to not think about it. I got cramps bad and so much gas. No idea what the heck is wrong, but i'm not going to sweat it just yet.

Hey Gina. I tested again this morning, but yet another negative. I guess it's time to schedule an appointment with a doctor. I'm so afraid of the worst though. I hope and pray that it isn't anything more than just a late period or pregnant of course. I'm so scared! I don't really know what else to do besides this. I'll keep you posted and let you know.
And as for everyone else that is in the same boat as i am. Hang in their. I know it sucks, but one way or another it'll eventually happen.

Hi, I was in the same boat as you about 5 months ago. I was going on 2 weeks late, my doctor did blood work, checked my thyroid, everything. Turns out I had an inflamed cervix. And after I finished the meds I got my period. But believe me on here everyone was telling me I was pregnant, I bought about 60$ worth of tests! LOL! But I of course wasn't. Maybe you are. Its possible. But I would deffinately go to the doctor. Because like me, it could be something that needs attention. I hope you do conceive soon if you aren't already! Best of luck! :)

Ladies,
I see many of you are in the same boat. I have a few suggestions for you that I hope will help.
The first is that Ovulation Calendars are based on an "average woman" with an "average cycle." They are not personalized for you. Charting, Temping and using OPKs (Ovulation predictor kits) are much more personalized, not to mention accurate.
Here are some reasons you can Feel Pregnant , but have a negative pregnancy test. Remember the stats from the Getting Pregnant Quiz say you only have a 20% chance of becoming pregnant each month, so don't be surprised if it doesn't happen immediately.
Now, if you're under 35 and have been trying over a year, or over 35 and have been trying more than 6 months, it's probably time to see your doctor for some expert help.
Baby dust to all,
Byroney
